| 15th November, 2007 - 2:08 pm | New York Post - A Yankees' official confirmed Wednesday the club is talking to Mike Lowell about moving from third to first and playing for the team he broke into professional baseball with.
Until Tuesday, the world champion Red Sox had Lowell, 34 in February, to themselves regarding financial discussions. Immediately following the Red Sox' four-game sweep of the Rockies, Lowell spoke of wanting to stay in Boston. However, the Yankees let him know they were willing to talk to him even Rodriguez returned. Now, with Rodriguez close to coming back, the Yankees want Lowell to play first base.
Lowell, who broke into the big leagues by playing seven games for the 1998 Yankees, has never played first base. He has Gold Glove skills at third, but the Yankees aren't worried about him making the move.
“All I can say at this time is that the Yankees have engaged us," said Lowell's agent, Seth Levinson. [READ] |
